I'm 10 days post op and have this feeling in my throat that makes me wanna swallow?! Constantly too!!!! Wth it's annoying

I had that when I woke up from surgery. It was like I had mucus or something. The Prilosec helped a lot.

I had irritation in my throat after surgery from being intubated during the procedure. My surgeon told me to gargle with salt water and it was fine after a couple of days.

Same here after my shoulder surgery. After any surgery requiring anesthesia and intubation your throat will be irritated. Perfectly normal.

Oh my goodness! Perhaps this has something to do with something I am experiencing of late.

Please let me know what you think.

I have been post op for 5 weeks now. And the last week I have been feeling like there is something strange stuck in the back of my throat, the right side.

It's like there's something small there and I can't get it out.

The closest similar feeling I ever had was when I ate some popcorn and a piece of the kernel got stuck there.

It is def not something I've eaten, because I haven't eaten anything hard that could get weirdly stuck in there.

It is very very very annoying. Any of you experienced this??

I sometimes get this "gunk" that comes out of my tonsils. It is white and gross. I can feel it everytime I swallow and it is annoying. I use a q-tip to get it out. Not sure if this is what your feeling or not, but if you open you mouth and say ahh, you can see it. Gross I know!

I've read this several times *I'm sure you're chewing enough and whatnot but this seems to be a real issue after GB*

• Difficulty swallowing (also called dysphagia) can be caused by eating too quickly, too much or not chewing food enough and can usually be fixed by avoiding these issues.
  

now it said "usually" can be fixed, but not always. I'd call my surgeon.
